Norwegian Star Review

Additional details
There is one outstanding memory, of many, on our NCL Star Baltic Capitals cruise. It was the longest day during this cruise which means that the phenomenon of the White Night was available for those who wandered the ship between 2.30 and 3.30am.
Being one of those people, my first White Night experience actually took me by surprise. I had taken up residence on a deck 7 lounger looking out at the horizon. The whole sea skyline, which had been immersed in dusky light started to glow bright red like an autumn sunset. Above it a bank of cloud separated the brilliant red from the smokey light rays as the sun awoke from its very brief sleep. Then a breathtaking flash of gold light stretched across the cloud bank and for several minutes the glory of a setting sun and a summer dawn filled the sky.
Sunrise, Sunset a Baltic midsummer, peacefully floating on a Star.
Cabin Review
Mid-Ship Inside
We had ordered a bar set up and it was ready for us when we finally got to our cabin, too busy meeting people and starting our cruise in the bier garten. The Gin we ordered came home with us but it was noticeable that on the NCL Spirit we got about 8 cans of soft drinks plus lemons, limes, cherries, drink mats, swizzle sticks and allsorts on a nice tray. This time it was the giant bottle of booze and 4 cans! Someone had also sent us a bottle of wine and chocolate strawberries but there was no name on the card so we don't know who to thank. The strawberries were delicious and we still have the wine.Our cabin was an inside number 10099. The insides on NCL are very small compared to the large balcony cabins. The bathroom, (although smaller) worked better than the balconies because the toilet was not in a separate cubicle. There was a load of clanging, banging, dragging and hammering noises that came from somewhere at the back of the cabin, that started at 3-4am every night, without fail. We surmised that some kind of works access corridor had to be behind us, or possibly just above. Our steward was lovely and we had a whole zoo of towel animals on some days. As usual for NCL the cabin was spotless!
